nothing else could elicit the facts from the

PRINCE FERDINAND is not so rich as is COM
monty supposed. He has about $4,000 year
but his mother has a very large capitalized
| fortune, most of which is entirely under her own
| control, though it is understood that Prince
| Ferdinand will inherit at least half of it. The
| Princess Clementine, being very ambitious OF
| seeing him reign, would answer any call made
| upon her fortune for his good. But this is not
| of a ba vic fol nv 9TH 1la.G Of hn
| House of Coburg, who tremble to see the family
wealth disspated in Bulgarian speculations, and
| it is said that some rather uneasy CORE
spondence has been and is being interchanged
| among the Princes relatives.

in defeating his recent volume of poems lis
the flower (such as it isl of our civilization; and

| IT is the boast of Weehawken, N j., that no
| Italian Chinaman, negro lives within its
| borders. Mayor Kelly says: Il won't have
| Chinaman in the place; detest them. One did
| open a laundry here and gave him a certain
| amount of time to get out of town, and you bet
| he got. Last week one tried to come here, but
| | saw him and ordered him to go back to New
| York at once, and he didn't wait to be told the
| second time. The idea of these fellows coming
| into town to take away the living of our own
| residents is something won't tolerate. AS for
| the Italians and negroes, they don't come here,
| because there is nothing here for them to do.

THE London Times correspondent at Stettin,
| speaking of the recent review there, says: 1.-THE
troops marched past twice in different forma-
| tons, and though this part of the show lasted
nearly two hours. the Emperor stood upright
| most of the time in his carriage, which he oc-

was afforded by walking stick. 1t was a proud
| moment for his majesty when his grandson,
! Prince William, led past his infantry regiment
